Grosgrain Archives

May 12, 2009

A couple weeks ago I visited etsy's front page and found a wonderful seller with FABUOUS style...all vintage and fun. Imagine my delight when she agreed to do a giveaway for Grosgrain- A custom dress made to fit the lucky winner!

The dress featured in this post will be custom fitted and given to the lucky winner. It is made from 100% cotton red, blue yellow and white plaid seersucker with 100% cotton eyelet lace underskirt.

The underskirt is attached at the waistline and really fills out the skirt nicely. It has lace detail around the bottom edge of the seek sucker, the back and top edges of the bodice and two bows where the spaghetti straps attach in the front.

The gathered bust line is lined and can be worn with or without a bra. Heather will make it to size for the winner. It's super comfortable and ultra sweet looking.Heather is no novice to sewing and has been sewing since she was 10. Two years ago she learned to fully design her own pieces. Since then it's been full steam ahead.

"I'm freaking out on vintage style dresses right now so you will see a lot of those. I'm working on some original dresigns to be made in your size, so watch for those."

"I love a challenge. If you have a costume idea or retro inspired special engagement gown that you have always wanted, share it with me and I’ll see if I can construct it for you."

Aside from her passion for sewing she also loves to make costumes and even sculpt and pour her own latex masks and props.Follow Heather's work and life on her blog http://www.looseteeths.blogspot.com/

I love this dress. It reminds me of the sundresses my mom made me when I was little. Here's a link to my blog post about it: http://melissaburford.typepad.com/burford_designs/2009/05/loose-teeth-vintage-inspired-sundress-giveaway.html

Love it! It is hard to find vintage pieces that fit well - this is an excellent retro-inspired piece. And custom fitted?! Heck yeah! Blogged it so more have a chance! http://stilettogirlvintage.blogspot.com/

hi there! I'm new to vintage style (so new I don't have any vintage pieces yet...) This lovely little dress looks like a great first piece! ^.^ It's so nicely made and the design is great for summer down here in Florida :D

I love that it would be custom fitted - finding clothes that fit me is a real chore because I'm very short and a size 6, all my clothes hang off me, so this would be amazing, to actually own something that fits! Whoever wins it is a very lucky lady :)

so so so cute! love it!I posted a quick blog post about it and have my fingers crossed ;)Thank you so much for the chance to win!(I used the "create a link" so I hope I did it right!)http://scrappinhillbilly.blogspot.com

It looks like an evening outfit to wear at home. However if silk material is used then it will be outclass and if it could be long then it could be wearable in parties also. Dissertation writing services
